You have to find the angle of sunlight and the pole , which then cast a shadow
length of the pole is equal to 3.1m
creating a hypotenuse of 4.52m
the angle will be
[email protected] = opposite side / hypotenuse
= 1.46/4.52
= 0.32 that's 18.66 °
now for the building sin18.66° = opposite/hypotenuse
0.32 = 36.75/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 114.84 m
thus using Pythagoras theorem
114.84*114.84 = 36.75*36.75 + x^2
which comes around = 108.8 roughly 109 metres long

How would you find the empirical probability of getting a red card, if you are choosing a card from an ordinary deck of 52 cards
RSB [31]
You can eliminate choice B because pulling two cards (from 52) does not accurately represent the deck since the sample size is too small.
<span>
There are 26 red cards (13 diamonds and 13 hearts) out of 52 total cards.
 
So the probability is 26/52 = 1/2, which means that the empirical probability can be determined. So choice C is out.
</span><span>  
Another way is to pull out cards at random and make notes as to what color cards you are pulling. Then you can divide the count of red cards by the count of cards total. This is basically what choice A is describing.
 
So the answer is choice A</span>
